What is Epogen?
|
Synthetic erythropoeitin
|
|
|
What is Epogen's function?
|
Stimulates bone marrow to make more RBCs.
|
|
|
When is Epogen used?
|
To treat anemia in chronic kidney disease, chemo., or to reduce the chance of needing RBC transfusion.
|
|
|
What is Tumil-K?
|
Potassium Gluconate
|
|
|
What is Tumil-K used for?
|
To treat or prevent hypokalemia
|
|
|
Why is potassium important?
|
It is the principal intracellular cation in the body. It is essential in maintaining cellular tonicity, nerve impulse transmission, smooth, skeletal, & cardiac muscle contraction, and maintenance of normal renal function
|
|
|
How does acidosis affect potassium in body? How does alkalosis affect potassium in body?
|
Acidosis can shift potassium out of the intracellular space & alkalosis shifts potassium into the intracellular space
|
|
|
What is the major problem associated with potassium supplementation?
|
Hyperkalemia
|
|
|
What are some signs of hyperkalemia?
|
Muscular weakness and/or GI disturbances and cardiac conduction disturbances
|
|
|
What drug class is amlodipine in?
|
Calcium channel blocker
|
|
|
What is amlodipine's MOA?
|
Inhibits calcium influx across cell membranes in both cardiac & vascular smooth muscle. Acts as peripheral arteriolar vasodilator and reduces afterload. Depresses impulse formation & conduction velocity in cardiac muscle.
|
|
|
What is amlodipine used for?
|
To treat hypertension in cats, decrease BP in dogs w/chronic renal disease, and to activate the RAAS system
|
|
|
What do ACE inhibitors do?
|
Prevent formation of angiotensin II by competing with angiotensin-I for the enzyme ACE, which decreases aldosterone secretion (vasodilates)
|
|
|
What are ACE inhibitors used to treat?
|
Used to treat feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and to reduce proteinuria
|
|
|
What is the MOA for beta adrenergic antagonist?
|
Binds to beta adrenoreceptors and block binding of norepinephrine and epinephrine to these receptors. Inhibits normal sympathetic effects that act thru these receptors.
|
|
|
What are beta adrenergic antagonists used to treat?
|
Hypertension
|
|
|
Which serovars in Leptospirosis is most commonly incriminated in canine infection?
|
L. canicola, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. gryppotyphosa, L. pomona, L. bratislava
|
|
|
Which serovar of Leptosipirosis uses dog as reservoir?
|
L. canicola
|
